Kim this message appear when your iPhone is jail-broken and you want to update the software, especially when upgrading to 4.0. Restore it with 3gs custom firmware 3.1.2 it will work

Hi i have a 3g 16gb iphone and everytime i turn it on it tries to boot up and then it shuts down and all over again, so i tried to restore it but i was unable to and this message popped up “the iphone “iphone” could not be restored. this device isn’t eligible for the requested build”
??? this iphone was running on original software and had NEVER been updated, is itunes trying to install new version of the software that my iphone cant handle? Please help

@BowMan not much to say. Anyway Windows cannot diagnose your iPhone though. Try connect it to your computer, open up iTunes and try restore it.

@shafiq I guess you'll have to wait till a proper jb for 3gs will appear. Unfortunately not all jailbreak hacks are working good.
